The mother of all cluster rings.  The scale of this might not be obvious from the photos, but it’s massive: at least twice the size of a typical Edwardian cluster ring.  I don’t buy a lot of 1950s rings, but this one is made just like an Edwardian cluster ring, with hand-cut filigree and bead set diamonds.  It might even pass for that era, except that it’s HUGE.  The diameter is 22mm, or about 7/8 inch.
